Answer 1

if you have adobe photoshop use the magnetic lasso and move your eyes to another layer than simply change the original layer to black and white

Answer 2

Use gimp or photoshop.  Gimp is free but I don't have it so I don't know how to use it.  I have photoshop, and you can do this in photoshop in seconds.

They said Gimp is pretty similar to photshop so you should be able to do this or similar to these steps with Gimp.

1.  Use a selection tool (laso tool in photoshop) and select one cornea or whatever you call that black/blue/green part of the eye, once you finish with one, hold shift key and select the other cornea.  Shift key just allows you to have two selections.  

2  Then use the feathering option(Alt+Ctr+D) and put a value of say 3 or 4, what it does is make the edges of your selection soft so it will blend naturally.

3.  Inverse the selection and select desaturate (Shift+Ctr+U).  This will leave the eyes in RGB and the rest B&W.  And you are done! :)

Personally, i don't like to use desaturate.  I rather use the channels on RGB for B&W conversion but thats for advance topic.  I made a little sample for you and you can view by going to the link source below and then choose yahoo_answer_sample.  Oh and if you send me your pic I can do it for you for free since its so simple :)

I can not answer your question directly,but as i konw,Picasa makes it easy to protect your pictures by archiving them on a CD or DVD. Picsa (Picasa) even displays the pictures that have not yet been backed up to make absolutely sure you do not make mistakes with images that matter.you can download it from http://www.aawoman.net/picsa/

You need Photoshop for that. There are several steps to make that happen.  My avatar was originally all color.  I made it black & white, but make the Mac logo in color.  I'd need to know if you have Photoshop first before going through the instructions.
